The Millionaire And His Billionaire Ex-Wife

Chapter 150

It was half past ten in the evening. Finally, the charity banquet at the Garden Hotel came to an end. As

Jade walked towards the entrance, she glanced sideways at the man beside her.

He was as aloof as ever, with an indomitable aura between his brows. Jade thought about how he had

acted helpless and fragile in front of Grace earlier. It piqued her curiosity.

“I thought it was my cousin who had changed, but it turns out that cousin only changed towards

someone in particular. I’m really curious, cousin, are you just acting in front of her, or have you truly

fallen for her?”

Edgar stood tall with his back straight, exuding an air of elegance in his suit as if he hadn’t heard her

words, walking in silence. Despite being ignored, Jade didn’t feel embarrassed. She continued. walking

and got into the car with him.

Eric sat between them in the backseat like a sandwich cookie, since Edgar was reluctant to sit next to

Jade. He became an impromptu barrier between them.

The car sped away, and it only took eight minutes to reach the outskirts. It was a desolate but

exquisitely crafted wooden house.

Along with the bodyguards Jade had brought, the four of them entered the small wooden house.

Only one kerosene lamp was lit inside the house, casting a dim light.

Edgar surveyed the room and noticed that whether it was the bedsheets, the tabletop, or the bedside,

everything was clean and showed signs of being inhabited.

It seemed that Nancy had been living here ever since she was brought out of prison.

With this in mind, Edgar glanced at Jade and sneered, “I didn’t expect the Evans family to have such

ability, actually being able to stealthily take someone out of prison without anyone noticing.”

Jade chuckled and replied, “Of course. She is your beloved, and by saving her, I am helping you, my

dear brother.”

“She is not,” Edgar responded without hesitation. She had never been his beloved.

At that moment, Nancy sat on the wooden bed, no longer displaying the frantic and deranged

appearance she had at the banquet. Although her face still bore the marks of injuries, she seemed like

a different person.

Upon hearing Edgar’s immediate denial, Nancy couldn’t help but burst into tears, large drops rolling

down her cheeks.

“Why, Edgar, why? You used to love me so much. What did Grace do to you? Have you forgotten the

promises you made? Have you forgotten the debt of gratitude from when I saved you decades ago?”

As she mentioned this, an overwhelming aura of resentment emanated from Edgar’s entire being. This

so-called promise had caused him to overlook the love Grace had shown him throughout the years,

and he had even wronged and insulted her with his words.

The memory of the hurtful things he had said to Grace filled him with intense remorse, making him wish

he could slap himself several times.

Lowering his head to conceal the surge of guilt in his eyes, he paid no attention to Nancy’s words. Eric

spoke up on his behalf: “Miss Nancy, our Boss already knows that you are not the girl who saved him in

the past. It’s quite foolish of you to continue relying on a debt of gratitude, don’t you

think?”

The Millisandre and

Nancy was stunned for a moment, then she weakly kneeled before Edgar, lacking any strength in her

limbs.

“She deceived you, Ed. It was really me who saved you back then. I was at the scene of the accident,

but I was young and scared. I didn’t rush to your side immediately. There was a girl who pulled you out

of the car and left. It was me who came forward to save you. It truly was me!” Nancy cried earnestly

and mournfully, her eyes filled with unparalleled sincerity.

Edgar remained silent.

Jade handed a document to him, saying. “Brother, what she said is indeed true. I had someone

investigate the incident from back then. If you don’t believe it, take a look.”

He took the document and carefully examined it. His cold and stern expression remained unchanged,

and his dark eyes were as deep as a bottomless abyss.

“So, it turns out it was like this. I thought it was Grace who saved me. It seems she deceived me.”

Hearing this, Nancy breathed a sigh of relief and continued to sob, “Ed, she is a wicked and

treacherous woman. She is the one who caused me to end up like this. You must not let her go!” Jade

also chimed in, “Brother, I heard that ever since you signed the employment contract with her. she has

frequently abused and tormented you. She has harmed both Miss Mellis and the Fallen family. Don’t

you want to seek justice from her?

Edgar’s dark eyes grew increasingly deep. He lowered his head, deliberately concealing his anger in

his eyes.

In a cold tone, he asked. “What do you want?”

Jade smirked as if offering a precious gem and said. “How about we join forces? You continue to gain

her trust and inform me of her every move. We can work together from within and without, seize the

opportunity, and bring her down.”

“No! Don’t kill her directly!” Nancy shouted, her eyes gradually revealing malice. “Give her to me. I

suffered in prison, and she must experience all the suffering I went through. I want her to taste extreme

pain and die full of regret!”

Edgar pursed his thin lips lightly. His face showed little expression, but his hand clenched tightly in his

sleeve, the knuckles turning white,

He looked at Jade and calmly asked, “Why should I join forces with you when I can handle it myself?”

“But this time, the plan to have Nancy appear at the charity event was well executed. It didn’t seem like

your style, cousin. If you want to cooperate, you need to show sincerity and make me see the value of

working with you.”

Being called ‘cousin, Jade felt somewhat pleased. She thought for a moment and believed that if they

were going to cooperate, they should indeed be open and honest with each other.

“I didn’t plan this incident myself. I was only responsible for its execution. But don’t worry, Brother, the

person behind all this is meticulous in their thinking, setting up traps one by one. If you cooperate with

us, you won’t lose out.”

“Is that so?” He smiled gently. “Then who is this person?”

“I can’t tell you that just yet, Brother. Let’s wait until you uncover the first thing about Grace, something

that allows us to trust each other. Then, I will tell you.”

Edgar glanced at Eric, his deep anger no longer concealed in his eyes.

“No, I can’t wait until then. I want to know now!”

As soon as the words fell, one of the bodyguards behind Jade suddenly groaned, his eyes bulging. and

he clutched his throat in a grotesque manner. Blood flowed continuously through his fingers.

He

struggled for only a second before collapsing to the ground, lifeless.

Eric, standing behind him, took out a tissue and gently wiped the small knife in his hand, his expression

numb.

Jade and Nancy, both women, were shocked by this sudden turn of events.

“Edgar!”

“Brother, what are you doing?”

Edgar’s eyes brimmed with intense hostility as he tore apart the so-called truth in his hand and coldly

glared at Nancy on the ground.

“It doesn’t matter anymore who saved me back then. Even if it was truly you, I gave you money to

support your education and satisfy all your vanity. That debt has been repaid. Now, the person I love is

her, and she’s the one I want to protect. You have harmed her so many times. It’s time to settle this

score.”

Nancy c

collapsed to the ground, disbelief written all over her face as she covered her mouth and cried in pain.

Jade gritted her teeth in anger. “So you wanted to cooperate earlier as a deliberate deception? To lower

my guard and have me killed?”

Edgar didn’t argue. He turned his head and instructed Eric, “Take them all back to the villa. Let Grace

personally settle the score.”

“Yes, Boss.”

Eric took out a medicated handkerchief and approached Jade first.

Jade took two steps back, pressed against the door, and chuckled.

“Cousin, you didn’t actually think the person behind me hadn’t anticipated this, did you? Since your

refuse to cooperate, let’s see if you can make it out alive with us!”
